- Consider the following hypothesis test. H0: μ1 − μ2 = 0 Ha: μ1 − μ2 ≠ 0 The following results are for two independent samples taken from the two populations. Sample 1 Sample 2 n1 = 70 n2 = 80 x1 = 106 x2 = 108 σ1 = 8.4 σ2 = 7.6 (a) What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places. show work not done on calculator) (b) With α = 0.01, using the p-value approach, what is your hypothesis testing conclusion? Why? Explainarrow_forwardLet n1=40, X1=10, n2=40, and X2=20. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. a. At the 0.05 level of significance, is there evidence of a significant difference between the two population proportions? Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below. A. H0: π1≤π2 H1: π1>π2 B. H0: π1≥π2 H1: π1<π2 C. H0: π1≠π2 H1: π1=π2 D. H0: π1=π2 H1: π1≠π2 Calculate the test statistic, ZSTAT, based on the difference p1−p2. The test statistic, ZSTAT, is ? (Type an integer or a decimal. Round to two decimal places as needed.) Calculate the p-value. The p-value is ? (Type an integer or a decimal. Round to three decimal places as needed.) b. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the two population proportions. ?≤π1−π2≤? (Type integers or decimals. Round to four decimal places as needed.)arrow_forwardWhich of the following is a Null hypothesis for a paired-samples t-test? μd = 0 μd = X μ1 ≠ μ2 μ1 = μ2arrow_forward
- In each of Exercises, we have given the P-value for a hypothesis test. For each exercise, refer to Table to determine the strength of the evidence against the null hypothesis. P-value Evidence against H0 P > 0.10 Weak or none 0.05 < P ≤ 0.10 Moderate 0.01 < P ≤ 0.05 Strong P ≤ 0.01 Very strong P = 0.012arrow_forwardThe P-value for a hypothesis test is 0.06. For each of the fol-lowing significance levels, decide whether the null hypothesis should be rejected. a. α = 0.05b. α = 0.10 c. α = 0.06arrow_forwardIn Exercises, the null hypothesis is H0:µ1 = µ2 and the alternative hypothesis is as specified. We have provided data from a simple random paired sample from the two populations under consideration. In each case, use the paired t-test to perform the required hypothesis test at the 10% significance level.
